Fastest recorded MLB pitch is now 105.5 MPH [View all]

Ben Joyce of the Angels set that mark last night. By comparison, fireballer Randy Johnson's fastest pitch was 102 MPH. He retired in 2009.

110 MPH is likely coming someday. But, my goodness, Tommy John surgery is so common among pitchers today.
